THE DERBIES OF I 897-8 1 75 



the good, is a chestnut colt, the son of Janissary, out of 

 Pilgrimage, and was bought by Mr J. W. Larnach, his 

 owner, for the small sum of 160 guineas, when the Sefton 

 stud was disposed of at Newmarket in the July of 1894. 

 The odds against Jeddah were 100 to i, a fact which in 

 the case of a winner constitutes, in the opinion of the 

 Sportsman^ ' a record, not only with regard to a Derby, but 

 in connection with any race that has ever been run.'
